The Green Bay Packers wide receiver core is going to be a major battle in training camp. The battle won’t be for a roster spot, but it will be more about playtime. Christian Watson, Jayden Reed, and Romeo Doubs will start training camp as the top wide receivers on the roster, but Dontayvion Wicks and Bo Melton will also want to prove they belong on the field.
Green Bay at some point will need to figure out who will become the top receiver in this offense eventually. Many thought it was going to be Christian Watson, but injuries sidelined him for half of last season. Watson will be entering his third NFL season and he will need to stay on the field.
Some think Jayden Reed will be the best, some think Romeo Doubs will be the best, and some even think that Dontayvion Wicks will be the best at some point. Christian Watson will also look to be the top receiver in this offense this season.
The Green Bay Packers were rumored various times this offseason to either land a true number-one wide receiver or trade one of the wide receivers on the current roster. For now, Green Bay will ride with the receivers they have.
Pro Football Network Does Not Have a Single Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver Ranked In the Top 32 Entering the 2024 Season
Pro Football Network’s Dakota Randall listed his top 32 wide receivers entering the 2024 NFL season. On his list, he does not have a single Green Bay Packers wide receiver. Randall had two rookie wide receivers on the list and they were Marvin Harrison Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals who was ranked 26th and Malik Nabers of the New York Giants who was ranked 32nd.
If Harrison Jr. or Nabers were on the Green Bay Packers, there would be no doubt that they would be the number one wide receiver in this offense. One of the main reasons why Green Bay did not have a single wide receiver on his list is because the leading receiver last season for the Packers was rookie Jayden Reed, who had a total of 793 yards receiving.
Reed did have eight receiving touchdowns along with Romeo Doubs, but when looking at the list that Dakota Randell created, it is hard to make an argument that any Green Bay Packers wide receiver should be on his list. Maybe Jayden Reed will be on the list entering the 2025 NFL season. You may think someone on the Packers should have made it, but in reality, Randall got his list right.
